fitspiration singular

fitspirations plural

Morphology

fitspiration = fit + inspiration (semi-transparent) = fit + inspiration

Both components are recognizable ('fit' + 'inspiration') and the meaning ('inspirational content about fitness') is inferable, but the word is a creative slang blend rather than a regular derivation.

Etymology

Fitspiration is a modern blend of fit and inspiration, so it literally means 'inspiration to be fit'. You often see fitspiration as images or short quotes on social media that try to make you exercise or live healthier, which is why the word names content meant to motivate fitness.
